The FBI and the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn have opened a probe into New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo for covering up thousands of deaths in nursing homes during the pandemic. More than 15,000 nursing home residents died in New York — nearly double what Cuomo had initially disclosed. Meanwhile, Democratic New York Assemblymember Ron Kim has revealed Cuomo called him at home last week to threaten him for speaking out about the issue. Kim said Cuomo threatened to “destroy me.” This comes as New York lawmakers prepare to vote next week on stripping Cuomo of emergency executive powers during the pandemic.
